This is where the magic happens. The dark, seedy, micro-packeting magic!

DisplayPort has yet to supplant DVI as the premiere PC monitor connection standard. In fact, if the monitors I've reviewed over the past two years are any indication, HDMI is still far more ubiquitous than DisplayPort.

With a higher maximum bandwidth, a built-in cable retention feature, and multiple monitor (over one cable) support, I'm still scratching my head as to why DisplayPort isn't more popular than it is, at the consumer level at least.

It's a high-bandwidth input that (unlike HDMI) I've yet to have any technical problems with. Here's hoping more monitors take a cue from the following five.

Dell UltraSharp P2210
No HDMI, but you're not here for lower bandwidth connections anyway are you? What the P2210 does have is four-way ergo support, multiple USB ports, and good movie and games performance. Read the full review.

And now for a monitor that likes to (literally) live on the edge. Just kidding. Monitors can't like things.
